The 10th player in A.L. history to hit two consecutive pinch-hit homers, Gary Alexander connected with two men on base in the sixth inning to power the Indians to a 5-3 victory over the Yankees. Alexander also had homered as a pinch-hitter in the previous night's game against the Yankees. Reggie Jackson rapped a round-tripper for the Yankees, giving the slugger his 13th straight 20-homer season. [The Sporting News]
